Anti-ageing treatments

Everyone may agree that we aged significantly during the first half of 2020. Stress and worry cause lines and wrinkles and can even harm the quality of the skin. Even if you are unable to eliminate stress in these trying times entirely, there are techniques to lessen signs of ageing without undergoing surgery. Cosmetic injectables and microneedling are two of the most popular anti-ageing treatments at Aesthetics at Silvie.

This year, nonsurgical face rejuvenation therapies are gaining popularity. This is due to increased number of women and men are working from home and spending more time than ever before viewing themselves on video conference calls or socialising via Zoom and other video platforms. In this blog post, I'll discuss 5 of the top anti-ageing therapies expected to grow in popularity in 2020, as well as how they can assist address specific concerns and revitalise your appearance.

Microneedling

Because of its continuously great results, this treatment has maintained its appeal. Celebrities like Jennifer Aniston and Gwyneth Paltrow popularized micro-needling anti-aging treatment in the skincare industry a few years ago, and our patients recognized it wasn't just another Hollywood fad.

Our clinicians use the Eclipse Pen to generate tiny punctures in the skin that promote the body's natural healing reaction. This results in the rapid formation of new collagen, which is one of the building blocks of smooth, taut skin. To improve the outcomes, the skin's channels efficiently absorb nutritious creams and serums. Micro-needling not only lowers the appearance of lines and wrinkles but also minimizes the look of acne scars and stretch marks.

Peels with Chemicals

Chemical peels of varying strengths remove the skin's dull outer layers to reveal the revitalised skin beneath. Our aesthetic specialists meticulously apply peels to improve the texture of the skin, diminish fine lines, shrink pores, and minimise acne scars with this anti-ageing treatment. A medium peel, such as trichloroacetic acid (TCA), penetrates deeper into the skin and requires more downtime than a milder peel. The main advantages are visible when the skin begins to peel 2 to 3 days following the therapy.

Mild peels – They cure minor skin issues and take less time to recover from. Mild peels are suitable for every skin types, regardless of hue. They are unlikely to develop hyperpigmentation.

Medium-depth peels- They can be used to remove face scars, wrinkles, and even birthmarks; however, they can produce adverse effects and cause healing to take longer than usual.

For complete effects, a large majority of people will notice the results after a single treatment; nevertheless, multiple treatments work effectively.

Deep peels-  are used to treat precancerous growths, wrinkles, deep scars, and severe acne. The deep chemical peel produces apparent results with just one application. However, it can have more severe side effects and is more expensive.

High-Intensity Pulsed Light (IPL)

IPL treatments, like laser skin resurfacing, use pulses of light energy that the skin tissue absorbs, stimulating the body's healing reaction once more. This is an good choice for patients who are concerned about spider veins and age spots on their face, hands, and chest. Even though each patient's experience is unique, most people who have IPL treatments do not require any downtime. We recommend a treatment programme of 4 to 6 treatments every 3 weeks.

Injectable Cosmetics

BOTOX® Cosmetic and injectable dermal fillers continue to be the workhorses of nonsurgical anti-ageing treatments worldwide. They're short treatments, with the injections only taking a few minutes, and they provide fantastic results. BOTOX treats wrinkles caused by the frequent movement of small muscles, such as crow's feet and worry lines. Whereas, fillers replace lost volume in the face as we age. The common treatment locations are nasolabial folds, under the eyes, and the cheeks.
